Mumbai, Aug 21 (India Today) : Cricketer Irfan Pathan, who made a wild card entry in Jhalak Dikhhla Ja Reloaded, is all set to leave the show much to the disappointment of his fans.

Apparently, the cricketer has to quit the show mid-way due to his prior cricket commitments. The domestic cricket schedule has been rescheduled and since Irfan is a part of it, he has to go. The information about his leaving the show will be out this weekend.

"The domestic cricket schedule, which usually starts in the second week of November, has been rescheduled and is now starting on October 1. I will have to leave to start training for it. If I perform well on ground, I will dance a little to celebrate, " Irfan was quoted by Times Of India.

Talking about his Jhalak experience, he told the leading daily, "I did not know how this industry worked and when I entered, I realized how big it is. I will miss everybody a lot."

Meanwhile, in the upcoming two episodes of the celebrity dance show, Shahid will be replaced by Salman Khan as the judge. Shahid is on a short break from the show-owing to his long-overdue honeymoon.

Salman's presence will also mark the promotions for Hero, a film he's producing.
